Guide: 2016 Camaro SS & LT Jack Points & Jack Stand Locations
The 6th Gen has proven to have some weak points you want to avoid jacking the car up from. I learned the hard way even with a wide plate jack on how the 4 point jack points should not be used for single corner lifting.
Check out how I am now successfully lifting my car with jacks and jack stands without any worry of breaking things. Save 10% off on all products offered at ZL1Addons with coupon code lethal10. http://www.zl1addons.com Also... Here are the jacks, the stands, ramps, etc. I use in my garage. They all have a purpose and are useful in there own ways.

Very interesting! So, if you use a 4-point/arm hydraulic lift you would need 4 of these pinch-weld protectors to lift the car or is it only for floor jacks?

Not all lifts have the same pads, just check, then double check, that when positioned, they aren't going to hit the rockers before getting to the recessed pinch welds. |

Sorry to say, you can only use the front pinch weld jacking point on the verts!
The one back little for your jack stand has the cross brace bolted to it. Also you can't get to the center jacking point in the rear because of the rear cross braces! At least we get to go topless!

Did anyone figure out if the front center jack point can be used without removing the plate that covers it? I would rather not use the pinch welds if possible.
Thanks for the great video! I feel confident if the pinch welds are the only option in the front, |

Nicely done guide, sir.
Seems way to stressful to get the car in the air for basic stuff.

so a 4 post lift do I have to lift the smaller feet up onto the pinch points ? not that I don't know how to use a hoist I just want to make sure I don't crunch anything
and I shouldn't need 4 of those little pinch point things correct? side note the hoist is occupied by a 78 280z in the resto works |

Hey Sledge,
quick question - how are you putting the magpad on the rear pinch weld? I find the black plastic strip there interfering with the magpad, if I force the magpad then it is not sitting straight and am afraid will bend the pinch weld. Anyone else noticed it? Problem only with the rear, front one is ok. |
